- Mon Apr 18, 2016 8:52:22 pm #356 Are you confident about the next Challenge? What happens if you have to go to Council, will your tribe be prepared?

Have you been calling any shots in terms of who is going home? Are you worried that you are potentially a target?

- Tue Apr 19, 2016 1:34:49 am #370 I can't say I am confident but rather hungry. I sucked at the last challenge (that's what happens when you don't practice.), so I really am excited to go and compete again and try to top that lackluster performance. Not because I worry about being snuffed if we lose, but simply because I hate that feeling of dragging my teammates down. So bam, bring it on, I wanna kick some Asmat but!!

Day one, I already planted the seeds to other people that John is pretty unlikeable. But I know that ain't the case. Yes, he is rash, "loud", and sometimes throws sexual comments and stuff. Those things grow on people. And John Rocks I think have the charisma to grow on people. So before he gets to be rooted deep and grow as the flower he is promised to be, I already have been trimming him down since day one. Yes, people are now leaning towards voting him. Nadiya, Dale, Missy as far as I know are the ones who don't have any issues with John being my first scalp of the season. Dale said something about Val liking Johnny Rocks though, so that might be something we need to figure out if ever that is true.
Well there always is that paranoia of being snuffed out all of a sudden. Right now I have a fivesome with Val, Jac, Nadiya, Drew and I. But among that five, I am tightest with Nadiya so far. Tight but I don't 100% trust her. Who knows if she's playing the middle man as I am. I also have started a threesome with some of the Minority. Dale, Nadiya and I. I want to bring Missy in into that other circle just in case there will be a swap. It's pretty reassuring if ever I'd always have numbers wherever I end up in the swap.
Keith, man, I haven't heard from Keith. I have no idea where his head is. But I'm going to try and send him a message later about how Missy wants John out. Keith as far as I know sucked at the previous challenge and John was the total opposite of that. I need to really know what the pulse is inside the alliance of 5 that I have.

Just wondering how will being culturally different affect your gameplay? Is it a boon or a bane?

And what do you thing is everyone's perception of you?

Thanks and good luck again! :)

- Tue Apr 19, 2016 7:27:39 pm #395 Hey thank you Palo! Appreciate it po!

Well, growing up in the Philippines, (I don't know if you grew up here but I'll just assume not) it was always been a kill or be killed childhood. Like there's a pecking order. If you don't fight back, you'd get to be everybody's verbal assault punching bag. But pre-2010, it wasn't called bullying. It was just the way of life. Tease and shit, but if you cry all your playmates would be there ready to hug you and say sorry and tell you that you guys would start picking on somebody else instead. Survival never tasted that good back then. So in regards of gameplay, I think most of them except Jac (who claimed to be a Filipino as well), aren't really exposed to Filipinos. If being a unicorn is a bane or boon it's up to them. But clearly my childhood experiences are of great help for my social gameplay. I could just jump in and out with anyone.


Day one people started calling me a social butterfly. I kinda liked it but I try to just tone it down a little. Butterflies are known to jump from one flower to another. Which is something I'd do later in the game.. but for now, let me be the caterpillar that munches on one flower.

[Paloma]

- Tue Apr 19, 2016 7:31:26 pm #397 And which flower is this?

*Born and raised in Manila. :) Still living here.

[Reed]

- Tue Apr 19, 2016 7:34:39 pm #398 I haven't decided on which flower to munch on right now. Well, there's Drew, a member of our 5 man alliance, wanting to take rein. But it's kinda out in the open that he is aligned somehow with everyone. Which is getting the red lights with anybody else. Then there's Dale, I suppose the leader of the minority circle which I also am in. Really funny how I'm just asking everybody else about their opinions about this and that while planting seeds about him and him ;).

I'll figure out which flower when we go to Tribal.


Ohhh good morning! IT RAINED HERE IN CEBU! FINALLY! haha

[Reed]

- Tue Apr 19, 2016 7:43:45 pm #399 Man, I can't wait for the merge to come. I hope I can make the merge so I can finally stop pretending like I'm a noob at this. I mean I'm liking the parasite acting but man, something really is clawing me from the inside, wanting to come out now. Haha.

Again, for now, let them take the reins. If I make the merge, then I'm gonna go and play all out.

[Reed]

- Tue Apr 19, 2016 8:25:29 pm #418 So we had this mixer challenge or something for this immunity where we try to guess who Jac the leader ranked 6 people in the tribe. The first guess from our tribe was the one I posted in the Tribe Challenge discuss. My main purpose of that one was not to get the correct answers but again put it up there on who's up on the political ladder in this tribe. I just didn't realize Azmat would get 3 correct guesses in one go. haha

[Reed]

- Tue Apr 19, 2016 8:30:24 pm #420 Apparently somehow John Rocks is playing the same game as I am. Haha. I think? Hopefully not.

[Reed]

- Tue Apr 19, 2016 8:52:48 pm #421 Holy mother.. pisteng yawa. Why am I in the top rank? Damn it. Jac played the humble card. It was either she was in the list or not in the list.
Kinda screwed up our guessing. But we lost ,and somehow it's a bittersweet moment for me. We're going to tribal and we're going to figure out how this one goes. If things go as planned, we will cut John's throat. And as far as the other tribe goes, they want his throat out too.... that would mean they will get double the fun for winning today's challenge. And that fucks.

[Reed]

- Tue Apr 19, 2016 9:02:26 pm #424 Uh oh, Jac already with "lowkey" thoughts of blindsiding someone - Missy. John hand's down is the anon decision of the tribe except John himself of course. That attempt of Jac raised both of my furry eyebrows. And she said "forget I mentioned anything" after she realized it wasnt the smart move. I know she was just giving a piece of her mind. Still, at least that's something I have to keep in mind.

- Tue Apr 19, 2016 9:18:47 pm #464 Tribal council, I love how everybody in Yali tried to circle around Jeff's question. Haha. Sorry Jeff, I can't reveal my alliance preference this early.

[Reed]

- Tue Apr 19, 2016 9:58:07 pm #569 So before tribal, Missy sent me a message about John and Drew being a tight duo. Then apparently she sent Nadiya a message saying Missy controls Dale. I know she was scrambling but I think it's best we tell the 5, and Nad tell Dale about it. It solidifies the 5, preventing any kind of sabotage from happening. And, it cripples Dale's plan of starting his own 5 majority. With this, the majority 5 will be able to control the minority and trim them down. Also, makes Missy a target.
